Factors Affecting Self-reported Compliance to the COVID-19 Health Protocol.
Article in Acta medica Philippina, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: COVID-19 is dangerous due to its ability to cause severe disease and its rapid transmission from person to person via aerosolized droplets. The government established a Task Force on Accelerating the Handling of COVID-19, macro-scale social restrictions, and health protocols. Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify compliance-related factors in following health protocols during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: The study used a cross-sectional design involving 173 respondents recruited through incidental sampling. The questionnaire consisted of four sections that investigated demographic data, knowledge of COVID-19, penalties related to health protocols, and the behavior of respondents toward the health protocols. The validity and reliability tests involving 40 respondents were conducted with the minimum r value of 0.339 and Cronbach's alpha of 0.78, respectively. Results: More than half of the participants (51.4%) reported a good level of compliance with health protocols. There was a significant association between the level of compliance and the perception of sanctions (p = 0.000, r = 0.452). There was no relationship between demographics, health-related variables, and knowledge in adhering to health protocols (p >0.05). Conclusion: Sanctions or penalties were the main factors influencing public compliance with health protocols. To boost public compliance, health promotion efforts within the community must be intensified.
